Pale green in appearance with typical Clare Valley Riesling citrus characters of lemon and lime on full display along with some attractive floral notes. The balanced acidity ensuring a bright, clean finish. Great with any seafood – try with blue swimmer crab linguine.
This wine comes from three different blocks on the vineyard and our intention is to make a wine in the modern Australian Riesling style – crisp, dry and fresh.
94 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Made as a drink-now style for this vintage, winning a gold medal at the Clare Valley Wine Show. Winning a gold medal for riesling at this wine show is always particularly gratifying for the winemaker, just as the Hunter Valley Wine Show is for semillon. While elegant, balanced and clearly varietal, its strength is in the way the flavours gently coat the mouth and then won't let go."
93 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Subtle yeasty aromas, fresh and flowery, young and nascent, still emerging and yeasty. Intense flavour, penetrating and crisp, with a very long finish and aftertaste. Excellent. "
92 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front
‘Celtic Farm’ just puts me straight in mind of Spinal Tap, for some reason. And I’ll leave it at that. A little sulphur, lavender, spice, lime and lime leaf. Offers a lovely crunchy feel, lightness of touch, bitter lemon and lime flavours, a gentle slaty character and long chalky dry finish with a distinct quinine tang. Good wine of excellent character here."
